Package: language-env
Version: 0.38
Severity: minor

It seems that set-language-env generates a different set of
configuration files, depending which language the environment is set
up for. This is OK, as long as a user continues to use the same
language. One may run set-language-env multiple times for a reason or
another. The configuration files are still correctly rewritten.

But notebook computers travel internationally these days. One may want
to switch the language setup from time to time. A user may use the
Japanese environment for a while, then desire to switch to the Korean
environment. After a few weeks, he may again need to switch back to
the Japanese environment. Now, the problem is that set-language-env
writes .gtkrc for ko, but it does not touch it for ja. Thus, many X
program would have font problems after the user switches back to the
Japanese environment. It is probably not easy for the user to see why
the problem happened.

To avoid the problem mentioned above, we just need a mechanism to
revert the changes made by set-language-env. With the mechanism,
set-language-env can remove all it added in the previous run before
making any changes. This can be viewed as being related to what bug
report #97716 is discussing. But the reversion mechanism should be
much easier than what the bug report #97716 is seeking.

Thanks,

  Shinichi
